Quiz Description

This quiz concerns trivia about Owasa, Iowa, population 43 (approx). It is inspired by PrinsM's brilliant Study Skills Assessment 1DS at LearnedLeague, and covers topics not covered by that quiz. Despite the instructions below, you are encouraged to study as much about Owasa as you can before you begin the quiz, but once you start reading questions, all the usual rules against outside resources apply. You have - of course - Three Days to finish. Good luck!
